Question

explain the concept of rock cycle

Answer 1

The rock cycle is a basic concept in geology that describes the dynamic transitions through geologic time among the three main rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous. As the diagram to the right illustrates, each of the types of rocks is altered or destroyed when it is forced out of its equilibrium conditions. An igneous rock such as basalt may break down and dissolve when exposed to the atmosphere, or melt as it is subducted under a continent. Due to the driving forces of the rock cycle, plate tectonics and the water cycle, rocks do not remain in equilibrium and are forced to change as they encounter new environments.The rock cycle is an illustration that explains how the three rock types are related to each other, and how processes change from one type to another over time.

Answer 2

Answer:

${\huge{\fcolorbox{cyan}{lime}{\fcolorbox{yellow}{blue}{\sf{\color{yellow}{Answer:- }}}}}}$

There are 3 kinds of rocks

Igneous Rock

Metamorphic Rock

Sedimentary Rocks

${\huge{\fcolorbox{cyan}{lime}{\fcolorbox{yellow}{blue}{\sf{\color{yellow}{How\:are\: Rocks\:formed }}}}}}$

Igneous Rock is formed when molten lava cools down either Inside or outside the surface those rock which are formed inside the lava is called intrusive Igneous Rock and those which are formed outside is called extrusive igneous rock

Sedimentary rocks are formed in two way 1st by erosion, weathering and deposion and 2nd by Rock clash or when rocks clash with each other and they break to form sedimentary rocks

Metamorphic Rocks are formed when rocks are exposed to great and high pressure

The changing of different kinds of rocks into other rocks is called Rock cycle like both igneous and metamorphic rocks can change into sedimentary rocks in the same way each kind of rock can change into other 2 kind of rocks and this is called rock cycle
